Prosperity Bank, volunteers display flags for 9-11 at Lubbock park - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal
Prosperity Bank and a group of volunteers planted 1,000 American flags at Huneke Park on Friday morning, Sept.
The display draws on a mix of bank employees and outside volunteers. Lubbock County Sheriff's Department employee Adam Manthei was among those setting flags into the ground, alongside Prosperity Bank employee Kiarra Godfrey and others who showed up to help stage the tribute.
Huneke Park serves as the backdrop, giving people across Lubbock a place to see the display in the days leading up to the anniversary. For folks in town, it is a chance to mark the date in a visible, public way without having to travel far. A field of 1,000 flags spread across a neighborhood park carries a different weight than a single flagpole, and that scale is the point.
One thousand flags planted by hand, one at a time, by bank employees and a sheriff's deputy who showed up on a Friday morning before most people had finished their coffee.
